SPECIFICATION forming' part `of Letters PatentNo. 274,001, dated March 13, 1883. Application filed November 28, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MIGHAEL W. JORDAN, of Bellaire, in the county of Belmont and State of Ohio, have invented a new and` useful Improvenlent in Combined Workin g-'Iables and 'Carriages for Potters and Stone-Workers, of which theV following is a full, clear, and exact description,reterence being had to the annexed drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention consists ofthe novel construction hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure l is a plan view of my invention, partly broken away. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section. Fig. 3 is a side elevation, partly broken away; and Fig. .Lis a stone adapted for being supported ou the trucks A when the table is removed.`

A A indicate two trucks of'similar construction, consisting of the base B and the two slotted upright-s (l C. A bearing-block, D, is

supported in the uprights by means of the cross-bar E, which rests in the bottoms of the slots in the nprights. The blocks D are to be provided with means for adjusting them higher or lower in the standards or uprights C in order that a table, F, supported upon a rod, G, which rests in the bearin gs Hin the blocks D,

y may be raised or lowered. l In the bas'es B of rest-ing upon the bases B, on opposite sides of 35 the carriage thus formed, and the sides of the vtable J are to be supported upon these crossbars to keep the table from turning upon its rod. Likewise cross-bars N N are to be put upon'the ends of the cross-bars E of the bearing-blocks to support the sides of the table F. The table F is adapted to be turned down at either side to transfer an object to the lower table, J, a's in the manufacture of pottery.

The trucks A may be used for transporting a stone -from one place to another when the stone is provided with gudgeons, as shown in Fig. 4.

What I claim isl. A combined table and carriage consisting of two trucks detachably connected together by cross-bars, and combined with one or more oscillatorytables supported in suitable bearings, substantially as shown and described.

2. A combined table and carriage consisting of two trucks having adjustable bearing-blocks and connecting-bars, combined with an oscillatory table supported in fixed bearings and having a removable central leaf, and an oscillatory table supported in the adjustable bearing-blocks, and bars for supporting. the sides of said table, substantially as shawn and ydescribed.
